Global Flight Tracking in Civil Aviation
Explore the discussions and resolutions from the 3rd ITU Inter-regional Workshop on WRC-15 Preparation regarding agenda items related to unmanned aircraft systems and global flight tracking for civil aviation. Key points include considerations on the use of FSS bands for UAS communication, ICAO positions, regional positions on fixed-satellite services, and the urgent need for global flight tracking. Get insights on the technical and regulatory actions, frequency band assignments, and safety measures for aeronautical communications discussed during the workshop sessions.

Document WRC-15-IRWSP-15/16-E 1 September 2015 English only 3rdITU INTER-REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON WRC-15 PREPARATION (Geneva, 1 3 September 2015) Panel Session 1 WRC-15 Agenda items 1.5, GFT, 1.17, 1.18 Victor Glushko International Telecommunication Union
WRC-15 agenda item 1.5 Unmanned Aircraft Systems Consider use of FSS bands (not App. 30/30A/30B) for control and non-payload communications (CNPC) of UAS in non-segregated airspaces. Different views were added on the analysis of the results of studies. Conclusion* towards 2 possible solutions: Identify conditions under which systems operating in the FSS could provide UA CNPC links; No change, on the basis of concerns about the ability of FSS to provide a safety service. * See CPM Report to WRC-15 * See CPM Report to WRC-15 2 3rd ITU Inter-regional Workshop on WRC-15 Preparation, 1-3 September 2015, Geneva
WRC-15 agenda item 1.5 ICAO position (extract) conditions: 1. That the technical and regulatory actions be limited to the case of UAS using satellites, as studied, and not set a precedent that puts other aeronautical safety services at risk. 2. That all frequency bands which carry aeronautical safety communications be clearly identified in the ITU Radio Regulations. 3. That the assignments and use of the relevant frequency bands be consistent with article 4.10 of the ITU Radio Regulations which recognizes that safety services require special measures to ensure their freedom from harmful interference. 3 3rd ITU Inter-regional Workshop on WRC-15 Preparation, 1-3 September 2015, Geneva

WRC-15 agenda item GFT Global flight tracking for civil aviation (PP-14) resolves to instruct WRC-15, pursuant to No. 119 of the ITU Convention; to include in its agenda, as a matter of urgency, the consideration of global flight tracking, including, if appropriate, and consistent with ITU practices, various aspects of the matter, taking into account ITU-R studies, instructs the Secretary-General to bring this resolution to the attention of WRC-15 and ICAO, instructs the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau to prepare a specific report on the matter as referred to in resolves above for consideration by WRC-15. 5 3rd ITU Inter-regional Workshop on WRC-15 Preparation, 1-3 September 2015, Geneva

WRC-15 agenda item GFT ICAO position To support consideration of all possible options for support of ICAO global flight tracking as supported by studies. This should include: - a new provision in the Earth-to-space direction only for an AMS(R)S allocation at 1 090 MHz for the satellite reception of existing aircraft ADS-B signals that operate in accordance with recognized international aeronautical standards under the condition that it not constrain existing aeronautical safety systems - a future Conference (WRC-19) agenda item to address evolving GFT requirements. 7 3rd ITU Inter-regional Workshop on WRC-15 Preparation, 1-3 September 2015, Geneva
